Does monogamy really produce better health outcomes? excerpt from The Meaning of Sex: A New Christian Ethos
Dr. Miriam Grossman, author of the book Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student, describes the “safe sex” model as delusional:
The only people who are completely safe are those who, along with their spouses, waited for marriage, and once married, remain faithful. The ones who are ‘safer’ delay sexual behavior, discriminate carefully in their choice, and understand the weight of their decisions.
In theory and perfect practice, a monogamous marriage should produce increased health and better medical outcomes, or at the very least, serve as a protective factor against STI’s. However, new research calls into question whether monogamy is effective in actual practice. For example, a 2015 study found that monogamy rates among couples surveyed, much like abstinence before marriage, was low, and therefore, the vast majority of couples ended up being unfaithful to each other at some point. Conversely, the study found that for couples who engaged in an “open relationship” – meaning, they agreed to have sex with partners outside of their marriage – were more likely to use contraception that protected them from STI’s. The study concluded that people who label themselves as monogamous (but aren’t necessarily faithful in their marriage) are less likely to employ safer sex practices when they commit adultery.
